Problem/ problem pulling images

I am having a problem pulling images. It was working correctly, but after deleting the image and trying to download it again, it failed.
This message appears every time I try to drag any image
(error pulling image configuration: download failed after attempts=6: unexpected EOF)

Is it an image in a private registry? Can you share what image it is?

"image "google/cadvisor

That works well for me. unexpected EOF usually probably means network issues. If it was something with Docker Hub, it works now. It could be something in your network, but I doubt that it is related to deleting the image. I guess when you originally pulled the image, the network worked well, the later it didn’t. Note that when I say “your network” I mean not necessarily in your local environment, but anywhere between you and Docker Hub. It could be a VPN, proxy or company network.

It was working fine when I pulled it out for the first time, but after deleting it and trying to pull it out again, it failed.
This is the first time I have dealt with Docker to complete a project in a course at university, and I have to 1. Add a Docker monitoring tool in the Docker host. Use image “google/cadvisor”. Refer to
Appendix 1.4

I understand that it worked first, but this is exactly what I was saying. It worked then but something happened after that. There is no way to break docker pull by removing an image. Maybe only if you removed it manually b editing the docker data root folder instead of using docker image rm.

And as I mentioned, unexpected EOF is probably caused by some kkind of network issue. The response from the server is unexpected which could easily be caused by a proxy or firewall which you don’t even know about.

I got the same error with any image. any solution?!
